Postoperative analysis of histopathological findings, magnetic resonance imaging, and immunohistochemistry staining. a The image shows the histopathological findings in the resected uterine specimen. Well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with focal cribriform pattern, back-to-back structure without intervening stroma, and a papillary area are observed, and the glands have a smooth luminal contour. The tumor shows predominant glandular growth and a < 5% nonsquamous solid component; thus, the tumor was diagnosed as endometrial cancer grade 1. The tumor at the lower uterine segment shows slight myometrial invasion. The white arrow indicates the tumor in the uterine lower segment which shows invasion of the placenta decidua and uterine myometrium. The black arrow indicates < 50% myometrial invasion (hematoxylin and eosin stain, × 40.) b Immunohistochemistry analysis showed positive expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors, and negative expression of p53. (Magnification, × 40.) c Retrospectively reviewed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed endometrial carcinoma in the uterine fundus. A sagittal T2-weighted MR image shows endometrial carcinoma measuring 3 cm in diameter with signal intensity resembling that of the placenta. The white arrow indicates endometrial carcinoma involving the uterine fundus
